How the hell do you distinguish between genuine and fake Nismo Duracon shift knob? Was about to buy one for $35 total on EBay (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT) thought it was wholesale price. Luckily e-mailed the guy 2x beforehand.

yes, 99% real, high quality, Picture in kind.

Sounds like a crock of shit.

The guy can hardly put together a coherent email in English, what's the chances of him selling a genuine product? 99 times out of 100, eBay stuff is fake, unless it carries the price tag of a genuine item.

Also look at his eBay page too, he can hardly construct a sentence in English:

Improve shift-feeling and quick shifting with the use of moment of inertia.

Step clutch pedal quickly until you get used to the shift-feeling.

Support shifting smoothly to reduce burden to transmission.

Reduce any extra force of driving operation.

The gear shift of your vehicle must be rotation type, and its diameter should be

FIT FOR ALL MODEL

What the f**k does all that mean? lol

[EDIT] By the looks of the close-up pictures, it looks fake! Check out the Nismo logo on the first pic! looks horrid!

It looks like a bable-fish translation. But to be fair some of the Japanese English in some of the genuine HKS/Nismo etc stuff i have is pretty bad.

I bought an OEM R32/33 GTR/GTSt gear knob out of japan. The package calls it a "Knob Control"

Look closely under the Nissan logo.

Personally.. the Duracon looks horrid. Hence why i bought the OEM,

Thanks. I reckon they look awesome, especially with the Nismo logo to add some 'genuineness'. Not only that but they look damn comfortable to grip (not mentioning you're gonna use this multiple times everytime your drive). Also how much did you get that one for if you don't mind me asking?

And LOL @ the 'Jap-lish' comments.

Yeah i agree with that. They are quite comfortable! I had it in mine for a year or so before realizing i didnt like the look of it anymore :(

I got the Duracon from Nengun for $55AU delivered to NZ.

And the OEM item was from RHDJapan, $90NZD delivered to NZ

PS: The sticker doesnt stick to anything...

God dammit that sticker lol :P

How the hell did you get it for $55 delivered from Nengun??? they sell it at $64 and charge roughly $20 for shipping... says black shift knobs are discontinued on the site, and on RHD Japand it says white shift knobs are discontinued...just my luck.

Surely this resin type knob will shave off 100g of car weight if it doesn't do anythign else...:P

Lucky i guess :P Its still in my "My orders".

And its actually not as light as you'd imagine from memory. No lighter than factory anyway i dont think.

The thing that bothered me the most was that it doesnt screw down far anough, and theres a gap between the gear lever boot..

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
